Following its annual release cadence, Apple formally announced its updated hardware and software during the Apple Event in early September.

The OS version numbers are now all v26 to avoid confusion. This includes the updated developer tool, Apple Xcode, which is also at v26.

Regardless of the development framework, apps submitted to the App Store must always target the most recent iOS SDK. Hence, support for the latest version of Xcode is crucial.

MVVM – Made Easy with Microsoft MVVM Toolkit – Part 1

The Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) is a software design pattern that is structured to separate program (business) logic and user interface controls. The main advantage is, that the program logic is fully unit-testable as it functions independently of the UI controls (loosely coupled). It is very popular among the developers of XAML-based UI frameworks such as WPF, UWP, Xamarin.Forms, .NET MAUI, WinUI, and even other 3rd Party frameworks such as Uno.
